“The property owner communicated clearly and effectively and was very accommodating of our requests.”

They even erected a Christmas Tree for us to make the visit more festive! The flat was cleaned and available for an early arrival and the keys were easy to find in their secure location. We met them on site and they were very friendly.

An all round good experience.

“This was a lovely comfortable apartment in a very good location.”

It was spotlessly clean and we had milk and shortbread waiting for us so we could make a drink whilst unpacking and settling in. There were walks along the coastal path with some lovely views across the Firth of Forth to Edinburgh. Village shops were only a couple of minutes walk away and the delightful railway station was literally on the doorstep. We went to Edinburgh and Glasgow on the train to avoid traffic and parking issues and it worked very well. We also discovered that our English National Trust membership qualified us for free entry to NT properties in Scotland so visited Culross Palace and Falkland Palace which were both lovely villages. The Tenement House in Glasgow was also very interesting. Visiting the Kelpies was another highlight of the week - they are stunning! In a nutshell, this is a property that we will definitely return to as all home comforts were there and there is still plenty to explore in the area.

“The settees in the lounge are a bit to low for comfort.”

But overall excellent apartment.

“The apartment was located in the heart of the village, with a lovely cafe, bakery and shops.”

It was also very close to the railway station so travel to and from Edinburgh and the surrounding area was very convenient. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything you could possibly want in the way of tasteful decor and appliances to make your stay as much like home as possible.The owners were a most charming and helpful couple, nothing was too much trouble for them. It was close to two lovely beaches in a very tranquil setting, so that you could easily have the excitement of Edinburgh and also the more peaceful environment of the village and coast. I would have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful holiday apartment to anyone.

“Apartment had everything we required and was very well located for the village, walks and local facilities.”

“A lovely apartment, ideally situated.”

Well appointed and set up property which lacked for nothing! Even a bottle of milk in the fridge!
Thanks to the thoughtful owners.

“Great apartment in a lovely village”

The Courtyard was very good. Well furnished and a great range of utensils/crockery - everything you need. Owner was very helpful - especially shortbread on arrival - very welcome after along journey. Also being able to open the balcony door on sunny mornings was a real bonus - even if it is cool outside it's a real sun trap. Aberdour is lovely. The two beaches are very different. Great coastal walks in both directions and also into the hills above Burntisland with amazing views of the Firth of Forth with it's islands, awe inspiring bridges and over to Edinburgh and the Pentland hills beyond. Even if you don't catch the train you should visit the station and the sensory garden across the road. Good location near to shops and pubs. The Cedar Inn was best in our opinion.

“Excellent base to explore the fife coast as well as convenient for the train a lovely area any time of the year”

“Fantastic apartment in a lovely village setting”

This apartment is beautiful! Well-furnished, very well equipped and very comfortable. The rooms are all a good size, the kitchen especially is a well organised space.
The apartment is well-placed for exploring the region - by car or by train, as it is close to the station. We went to Edinburgh on the train so that we had no worries driving or looking for parking in a place we did not know well.
We loved Aberdour itself and walked around the coast road...beautiful views!
We plan to return next year as we enjoyed our stay so much.

About the location

ABERDOUR

The historic coastal village of Aberdour sits across the Firth of Forth from Edinburgh with its main street just inland and connected by narrow lanes to the coastal part of the village. Originally built up around the harbour where the Dour Burn runs into the River Forth, the village was essentially in fact two: Wester Aberdour and Easter Aberdour, however the connection was made with the coming of the railway at the end of the 19th century. What remains of Aberdour Castle is one of the oldest surviving stone castles in Scotland dating from the 12th century. Much added to over the centuries by the Douglases, the site is now managed by Historic Scotland and visitors can enjoy the walled garden and terraces and the distinctive beehive shaped dovecot. Known by the Victorians as the Fife Riviera, the secluded Silver Sands and Black Sands beaches have always been favourites and remain so to this day. The village holds a popular annual festival in late July and early August, including cultural and musical highlights, as well as a regatta and a run. With many lovely walks and a golf course, as well as excellent train links to both Edinburgh and further north into Fife, Aberdour remains an attractive and excellently located getaway destination.

Note: No children under the age of 7, including infants and babes-in-arms.
